He says while the teams were busy with the operation, they were alerted to a man in possession of drugs in another flat in the area. They saw the man running away and gave chase.
"They found him. They searched him and found heroin tablets and mandrax. He was placed under arrest for possession of drugs and will appear at the Chatsworth Magistrate Court," says Mhlongo.
